HELP! Do you know anything about SYNTAX-DIRECTED EDITING?

I am a Computer Science grad. student at Rochester Institute of Technology
in search of all recent work in Syntax-Directed Editing.  Of particular
interest is work with control structures.  I plan to implement a syntax-
directed editor for a microcomputer or workstation and would like to know
what the current research efforts are.  Do you know of any current research
in the area?  I have 10 days to find the information, so please send any
information (people, places, events) as soon as possible.  My home address
is :

Or you could contact me over the net.  Thank you for your cooperation.

I am also interested in syntax directed editing and would like to
included in the list for that information. 
(I will try and dig up any stuff I have and mail it to Mr. Myles,
 hopefully in less than 10 days [working on this stuff on the
 back burner so I can't really promise much]

Does anyone remember a syntax directed editor named Gandalf??
or is my memory failing)

The principal SDE's that I know of are:

1) The Cornell Program Synthesizer (Teitelbaum and Reps; Cornell U.)

2) MENTOR (Donzeau-Gouge, Huet, Kahn, Lang, and Levy; INRIA (France))

3) DOSE (Kaiser, et al; CMU and Siemens Research)  -- The DOSE editor was
   the one which came out of the Gandalf project (a software engineering
   research group) at CMU.

There have been several other projects which involved various aspects of
"structured", "syntax-directed" or "language-oriented" editing.  There have
been three such editors here at the U of I:  The SAGA editor (Kirslis);
FRED (Shilling) and TED (Hammerslag).  Each addresses the topic from a
different view point.  You will probably have sort through a lot of stuff
to find what you want.  Anybody got any handy reference lists?

Gandalf is a CMU research project.  It contains a syntax directed
editor (and generator) called LOE.
